How it works
- Consultation on how soft or defined you want the finish.
- Brow mapping to your face, approved before we start.
- Pigment is shaded in tiny dots with a machine, building a gradient from a soft front to a defined tail.
- The touch-up at 6–8 weeks adjusts depth and evens the healed colour.
Healing
What to expect as it heals
Everyone heals a little differently. This is the typical path, and you’ll get written aftercare for your skin at the appointment.
- Days 1–7Brows look darker and bolder than the final result. That’s the pigment sitting on the surface, and it softens.
- Days 7–14Light flaking and itching. Let the flakes fall off on their own; picking pulls pigment out.
- Weeks 2–4Brows can look patchy or much lighter as the skin heals over the pigment. This is the stage people worry about, and it’s normal.
- Weeks 4–6Colour settles back in and you see the true healed result.
- Weeks 6–8Your touch-up refines the shape and fills anything that didn’t hold.
Aftercare at a glance
- No picking, peeling or scratching. Let flakes fall off on their own.
- No swimming, saunas, steam rooms or hot tubs for about two weeks.
- No heavy sweating or workouts for the first week.
- No makeup, skincare actives (retinol, acids) or facials on the area until it’s healed.
Questions
Powder & Ombré Brows FAQ
Will powder brows look like a drawn-on block?
No. The front is kept soft and airy and the colour builds gradually toward the tail, so it reads as a light powder, not a stencil.
Are powder brows better for oily skin?
Usually, yes. Shading holds up where fine hair strokes tend to blur.
